[[OpenOffice.org]] article has [[OpenOffice.org#Set OOo environment variable|a section]] on setting OOo to use a QT/KDE3 and a QT4/KDE4 interface. It also has [[OpenOffice.org#KDE4 look and feel for OpenOffice|this other section about KDE4]]. It has been reported on the OOo article that the KDE3 interface will be re-enabled in LibreOffice 3.3.3. What about QT4/KDE4 support? Can these sections be copied into this article, maybe with an Out of date template at the moment? I don't use KDE, so I cannot test this. -- [[User:Kynikos|Kynikos]] 05:10, 8 April 2011 (EDT)

LibO has native kde4 support and is selfdetecting the environment very well. So I think there's no need to add this here (andyrtr).

A short time ago I augmented the details on disabling the high-contrast icons (what the article refers to as "Windows 95" or "Windows 98" style icons), since for me, it wasn't enough to just disable the automatic high-constrast detection.

I found this out courtesy of the following entries in the LibreOffice Bugzilla; while I am sure anyone else here could find them just as easily, I wanted to note them here for the information of other contributors:

[https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35803 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35803] A bug has been opened with freedesktop.org due to a default spacing difference between LibreOffice and OpenOffice that destroys the ability to re-create documents previously saved with OO while preserving document spacing. (example documents provided in bug report). This effects Libre on Linux as well as Windows (if you run a dual OS shop). Libre somehow has larger font kerning or paragraph leading that causes lines to wrap where they didn't in OO. This results in length documents experiencing page run-ons and destorys automatically generated pagination such as in tables of contents, etc.. This affects people who need to be able to re-create duplicates of original documents such as legal pleading, etc...

Not sure it's important enough to add it, and if you google the error it pops right up, but if your getting "error while loading shared libraries: libdb-5.2.so No such..." or similar that's what's wrong. --[[User:Gestahl|Gestahl]] 19:19, 10 July 2011 (EDT)

High-contrast icons in LibreOffice

A short time ago I augmented the details on disabling the high-contrast icons (what the article refers to as "Windows 95" or "Windows 98" style icons), since for me, it wasn't enough to just disable the automatic high-constrast detection.

I found this out courtesy of the following entries in the LibreOffice Bugzilla; while I am sure anyone else here could find them just as easily, I wanted to note them here for the information of other contributors:
